Correlation vs. Causation Regression Correlation vs. Causation

Correlation Causation A statistical way to measure the relationship between two sets of data. Means that both things are observed at the same time. Means that one thing will cause the other.

You can have correlation without causation There is a correlation (relationship) between the number of firemen fighting a fire and the size of the fire. (The more firefighters at the scene means that there is a bigger fire.) However, this doesn’t mean that bringing more firemen will cause the size of the fire to increase

Is it Causation or Correlation? Ex 1. A recent study showed that college students were more likely to vote than their peers who were not in school. Correlation Ex 2. Dr. Shaw noticed that there was more trash in the hallways after 2nd period than 1st period. Correlation First two examples: correlations Last example: causation Ex 3. You hit your little sister and she cries Causation

Measuring Correlation Correlation is measured by the correlation coefficient, R. R is a number between -1 and 1. There are 4 traits to correlation: Form Direction Strength Outliers

FORM Linear Quadratic No Correlation Cubic Exponential y = mx + b ax2 + bx + c = 0 No Correlation Cubic ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0 FORM  Exponential f(x) = abx + k

Positive Correlation Negative Correlation Direction

Strength Weak ---------------------------> Strong R value (correlation coefficient) 0 ---------------------------> 1 Strength

Data that doesn’t fit in Outliers

Put the correlation coefficients in order from weakest to strongest Ex 1: 0.87, -0.81, 0.43, 0.07, -0.98 Ex 2: 0.32, -0.65, 0.63, -0.42, 0.04 0.07, 0.43, -0.81, 0.87, & -0.98 0.04, 0.32, -0.42, 0.63, & -0.65

Positive, Negative, or No Correlation? The number of hours you work vs. The amount of money in your bank account Positive B. The number of hours workers receive safety training vs. The number of accidents on the job. Negative Draw a sketch of a graph to discuss…. C. The number of students at East Cobb vs. The number of dogs in Atlanta No Correlation

Positive, Negative, or No Correlation? D. The number of heaters sold vs. The months in order from February to July Negative E. The number of rice dishes eaten vs. The number of cars on I-75 throughout the day No Correlation F. The number of calories burned/lost vs. The amount of hours walked Positive
